4 5 5 796 V. Description of the invention (1) [Background of the invention] The present invention relates to a data collection system, and more particularly, it is particularly suitable for data entry, retrieval, organization, and organization in an organized and effective manner, and Analysis system. Technical description

Data collection and analysis is an essential part of market decision-making. Data collection includes, but is not limited to, video, images, audio, raw numeric data, and more. The information in the data is valuable in many ways ’, but the extraction of this information for decision-making is sometimes difficult. For example, when the amount of data collected reaches a considerable level, if the data is not kept in order, it will cause confusion. In addition, the lack of organization may affect the extent to which the data can be effectively analyzed. Moreover, even if an appropriate conclusion has been made, it may be necessary to review the data on which the conclusion is based for some reason. Here, the lack of organization still often prevents thinking from deriving the right conclusions. Therefore, systems and methods for data entry, retrieval, organization, and analysis in an organized and thus efficient manner are actually needed.

This operation is depicted by the flowchart of FIG. 3 and executed by specific software. The preferred embodiment uses the Java 12, C, and C ++ languages to write the bootstrap method. Object-oriented programming method "〇 :) The more developed complex application software. Because _ towards the software design oopll development, various software solutions need to be modified to take advantage of the advantages of. f To apply _Origin to the message interface of the electronic message system in order to provide a set of OOP categories and objects to the message interface. The implementation method uses JAVA, C and C ++ languages and adopts the object-oriented programming method to write the object-oriented program planning (〇〇p) more and more used in the development of complex applications. Since object-oriented programming = f is the mainstream of software design and development, various software solutions should respond to this change and make full use of the advantages of object-oriented programming. It is necessary to apply the principles of object-oriented programming to electronic messaging system messaging interfaces. In this way, a number of object-oriented programming categories and objects must be provided for the messaging interface. Object-oriented programming is the development of computer software using objects

Page 10 45 579 6 V. The process of description of invention (8), which consists of programming. A software package. From being regarded as a self-contained component to its specific task, it is considered to be called an object. Among the specific tasks or modules, usually, the object module has a program operation mechanism, which allows capabilities or functions. The category on which this is designed and the category of the component is usually a map, many objects are oriented to the object. Therefore, the height of the object is ruled. This concept of number is called the seal-oriented type, and it accepts access to the software module when it is accessed. This is generally a structure to make objects. Objects are also called categories. It is generated from it: the data, structure and assembly of the analysis question and related data and structure and the components of the component-oriented process it is attached to. Design component module interface. Component integration is assumed to be different in different processes. The category of this item, the category of the object, the design system, and the set of structures and processes are a set of structures, processes, or formulas. Each set of processes will be profitable again. It can be calculated by data. An object sounds the software for a component, and uses the respective component models to connect the structure of the component stack. The structure is a system space that makes it necessary for common components to distinguish the object—a separate event, and the object can § Forbearance is a blue programming that allows programmers to create one as part of another object. For example, the existence of an object containing a piston can be said to be similar to that of a piston engine, including a plug engine. Two objects are used to guide a piston south of the object. The component is a logically programmed valve and many practical meanings. The above shows that it is also allowable from a 'representing the piston relationship' to other actual components; the component-oriented process comes. Among the objects, among the objects of the engine, a piston is a living design that produces a

Page 11 455796 --- 5. Description of the invention ^ '. If there are two objects, the piece represents that the piston is made of ceramic = the relationship is the inclusion relationship / the ceramic piston m. For example, it is only a kind of ratio, and its piston is made of ceramic. It is called a derived object. A further limitation or export of the object of the porcelain piston engine was made, and the relationship between self-replacement parts is called inheritance. When representing all the characteristics of a ceramic piston engine, it also inherits the thermal characteristics of a piston engine. However, the special thermal characteristics of porcelain pistons are the same. It puts aside the original function and uses different piston engines with corresponding basic functions with different characteristics (for example, bow, engine, lubrication system, etc.). In order to implement these functions, programmers should implement these functions in the same way, but each piston engine may include a named function. This ability is called polymorphism. It greatly simplifies the complex relationship, packaging, and components that can represent anything in the real world. Our understanding of reality is that one of the piston engines represents a piston engine. 9 Then these two plugging engines are not piston engines. The piston engine has one more limit to live. Here 1 represents that the ceramic piston has inherited that the owner of the piston engine said that it has JMk body. 0 represents the ceramic table piston. Engine Objects 9 This object and category inherits the standard ceramic piston engine objects defined in the Piston Piston Engine category. It rewrites the characteristics of ceramic and metal pistons and takes care of new features not related to ceramic pistons. 9 But they may have How many pistons are the same > Ignition sequence N Access the same name in a piston engine object to call the same function different / redefined The same with the functionality realized crown to the same name of the concept Ο bearing and polymorphism of communication between the object member, the ---- a composition element 0 actually on Ϊ decide what member guide object in what type of thing the situation may be as

Objects can represent objects, such as cars in a traffic simulation, electronic circuits: electronic components in a formula, countries in an economic model, or airplanes in an aircraft transportation system. ^ • Objects can represent elements in the computer user's environment, such as a window 'menu or graphic objects. * An object can represent a directory, such as a list of personal files or city latitudes and longitudes. And the * object can represent user-defined data types, such as time, angle 'complex' or points on a plane. Because of the powerful function that an object can represent any logically independent event, whether these realities are a physical entity, a process, a system, or a combination of events, ▲ piece-oriented programming Allows software developers to design and implement a computer program as a model of loosely coherent features. Because an object can represent anything, software developers can create an object as a component of a larger software design in the future. If 90% of the new object-oriented programming software programs consist of proven and existing components generated from existing reusable objects, then only the remaining 10% of new software designs need to be written and tested. Since 90% ^ comes from tested and reusable objects, the possible range of code errors is limited to 10% of programs. In this way, object-oriented programming 'enables software developers to create new objects-pieces from other existing objects.

Page 13 4 5 5 79 6 V. Description of the invention (11) This process is very similar to a complex machine composed of components and sub-components. Therefore, object-oriented programming technology makes software engineering very different from hardware engineering. Software is designed from existing components. _ These components can be used by developers as objects. All of this improves the quality and speed of development of the software. Programming languages are beginning to fully support ~ principles of object-oriented programming, such as encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism, and compound relationships. With the advent of the C ++ language, many commercial software developers have adopted an object-oriented approach to programming. C ++ is an object-oriented programming language that provides fast machine-executable exhaustion. In addition, C ++ is suitable for the development of commercial applications and system programming. Now C ++ has become a popular choice for many object-oriented programming programmers, but there are many other object-oriented programming languages, such as Smauta 1k, Common Data, Data Processing Object System (CLOS ) And eiffe 1. In addition, object-oriented programming, * -style design functions are also used in some commonly used traditional programming languages' such as, Pascal. The advantages of object classes can be summarized as follows: • Objects and their corresponding classes divide complex programming problems into many small and simple problems. • Encapsulation enhances the abstraction of the data by weaving the data into small independent communicable objects. Encapsulation protects data from accidental breaks. -Bad ’but allows other objects to interact with the data by invoking their functions and structures. · Subcategories and inheritance are derived from the standard categories that the system already has

In this way • polymorphism and multiple inheritance enable different processes to match and match the characteristics of many different categories, creating “people can mix these objects with related objects in a predictable way to specific objects” (class level hierarchy) and The restricted way works. (contwent hierarchy) provides a flexible mechanism for relations between the real world. Modeling and reusable archives are reported in many cases. They also have some limitations. Such as: useful ‘but • hybrid. In a tens or hundreds of categories, the hierarchy of related categories will become extremely chaotic. 'Department, first • = system control. Programs written with the assistance of the library are still negative (eg, the dagger must control the generation of = j 亘: role in a particular library). The programmer must decide when and why == • The effect is copied. Although libraries allow programmers to use and reuse many small blocks of code, each person combines these code snippets differently. Two different programmers use the same set of libraries to write two programs that implement the same function. Their internal structure (such as design) may be completely different, depending on what each programmer makes Hundreds of decisions. Inevitably, similar code snippets do similar things in slightly different ways, and they don't fit together as well as they should.

The category library is very flexible. Tian Yu's programs are becoming more and more complex. ‘Many programmers are forced to do it once and again for :: solutions. A relatively new structure of the library concept. This Pingpeng gift exhibition is to have a »-architecture system is more complex and consists of a large collection of categories. It can obtain the small model "= form to achieve the general needs of specific application domains. Two: five more agencies free the programmer from trivial work: ::: = single, ㈣, dialogs and other personal computers Standard

The :: 2 system also represents a shift in programmers' perceptions of the interaction between the code they write about Daima 2 and the code written by others. In early programming, a 'program designer calls the operating system's pavilion to perform a specific task, but basically from the beginning of the program to the end of the program, and the programmer owns the control flow. This is suitable for jP checks, calculating math tables, or using programs that work in only one way to solve some other problems.

^ Developments in graphical user interfaces have broken the limits of structured programming. These interfaces allow the user to drive the program rather than program logic and determine specific sounds that happen from time to time. Today, most personal computer software implements this function through an event loop ^, which is used to monitor the mouse, keyboard, and its external events ’and call the corresponding part of the program code based on the behavior of the user platform. Programmers no longer need to decide the order in which events occur. Instead, programs are split into separate pieces and called at unpredictable times in unpredictable order. Because in this way, control is delegated to

Page 16 45 5 79 β V. Description of the invention (14) The user, developer, and programmer's library should decide to count the event loop at the top of the system after each application. This idea further deepens the rationale in the construction and basic coordination. Start running the application architecture system. Then, he replaced it with the application architecture-style code of the embodiment. However, the window and support for copying the code that is almost the same as the code of the event loop system creates a separate and specific set of "quote" programs written only by the staff. The program even requires some generations to eliminate the need for an event loop menu. The number of direct encounters from the authors according to the implementation of a specific power system has been reduced. Because the architecture and paste and other general programs allow all architecture systems to be completed and process a custom data, the programmer has a decentralized authority in writing To the user (this is for the specific control flow of the program to build some more complex systems, the application of the programmer system is actually used, a greater degree of event processing will only be adjusted structure). Architecture system software cycle architecture system. They use very much easier programs. Even so, the program block still needs to call the operating system service. The programmer calls the control flow in the event loop. Application code still requires programmers to write a lot of code, but to write it separately. The general concept of application architecture. Programmers no longer need windows, dialog boxes, and all these details to connect them. Programming programmers using application code and basic user interface components for example needs to ‘use the general capabilities of the architecture system. A large number of procedures that need to be rewritten are used to show that programmers can also delegate control. Architecture and control flow ’programming (for example, when creating a program, not only will control be the same), but also using methods that can create interesting ways to run together

Code menus and windows) Programming. They constitute a time frame that gives some other behaviors. You sell behaviors on your one hand, and you instantiate them on the other hand. However, the procedures are called. The system tuning decides not to call the program of the phase structure system behavior pair with tools. The architecture combination method should be the called pair, and it is routineized and yes. It is a single and identical program to implement the design for the architecture design. , The program is designed to use it, and the corresponding program has agreement with the library. The data need a set of provided rules that those systems not only cover. Utilize the use of its member functions to call objects (to the greatest extent, teachers usually use the different parts of the material that are tied to it to design each other. Use the architecture system to include some teachers through this, the code. The three main halls are a separate supply According to the regulations, the number of reference libraries should be provided. For example, the program blocks should be coordinated with the square pieces on the application cover. The library 'They are basically a reciprocal design of the problem areas that are compatible with each other in order to solve similar problems. Objects that provide preset behaviors (such as inheriting some preset behaviors and rewriting the architecture system, you can also include the provided rules when the corresponding behaviors are in the required behaviors To excel: the basic can be provided with programming rules. Designer system, as a system of code and system flow. Procedural collection, when the line is called. In addition, it is agreed or decided that the programmer will also compare the object with the code. Can be used again in the same library The design can only be reused again. The architecture ημιη page 18 4 5 5 79 6 The description of the invention (16) The system gives a family of related programs or blocks the way to work. It represents a universal design method, this method can be used For different problems in a given domain. For example, a single architecture system can instantiate the working method of the user interface, even if two different user interfaces created by the same architecture system can solve completely different interface problems Therefore, the difficulty of software design and development will be greatly reduced through the development of the architecture system for different problems and program tasks. The preferred implementation method of the invention uses Hyper Document Markup Language (HTML) and is used for client hosts and hosts (Newco) The secure communication protocol of the transmission medium puts the files on the Internet.

Hyperfile Markup Language is a simple data format that can be used to create cross-platform portable hyperfile files. Hyperfile markup language files are general-purpose% strong files that are suitable for representing messages in a very wide area. The Super Document Markup Language was originally used in the global messaging of the World Wide Web from 1990.

45 5 79 6 V. Description of the invention (17) Dynamic information of machines and feeders and interaction with existing computer resources are still limited by their capabilities when applied to the web. Until now, hypertext markup languages have been the dominant technology in developing web-based solutions. However, it can be proved that the super document markup language is insufficient in the following areas: • Poor performance; • Limitations on user interaction capabilities; • Only static web pages can be created; • Lack of interaction with existing applications and data; and, • Cannot be extended.

Sun Microsystem's Java language can solve many client problems by:… • Improving client performance; • Making it possible to create dynamic instant web applications; and • Providing the ability to create a variety of user interface elements. Using Java, developers can create robust user interface (耵) components. Create user's widget I (such as real-time stock acceptor, dynamic index, etc.) and improve the client's performance. Unlike the super file markup language, Java supports the concept of client confirmation, which can download the corresponding process to the client host to improve running performance. Create dynamic time pages. Xiao Shi ’can also create dynamic web pages using the user UI components mentioned above.

Sun's Java language appears as the industry standard language for information network programming. Sun defines Java like this: " Simple, object-oriented

"Java applets are small specific applications that conform to Sun's Java Application Programming Interface (API). It allows developers to document on the information network. Add interactive content 11 (such as simple animations, page decoration, basic games, etc.). The applet is executed in a Java compatible browser (such as Netscape Navigator) by copying the code from the server to the client's host.

Microsoft and ActiveX Technologies provide another technology similar to the Java feature category, enabling developers and web designers to design dynamic content on the Internet and personal computers. ActiveX includes tools for developing dynamic, 3D virtual reality, video and other multimedia content. These tools use Internet standards, work on multiple platforms, and are supported by more than 100 companies. These group of building blocks, called Act iveX controls, are small and fast components that allow developers to embed some software into Hyper File Markup Language (HTML ·) pages.

A person of ordinary skill in this technology easily believes that A c t i v e X can replace JAVA without the need to apply the uncomfortable experiments of the present invention. Explanation: In the application, the remote data is first recorded by the remote input device 10 and stored on the host computer 12 in a digital format, as shown in block 50 in FIG. 3. The host 1 2 then recognizes the far-end data through a near-end input device 14 (e.g., a keyboard 2 6). For example, once the remote data is stored in a digital format, an identifier is registered, which includes a written description 4 4 and an identification code 4 2. This is shown in block 5 2 of FIG. 3. In one embodiment, Description 44 includes a title and a brief summary. I should note that far-end data can be classified into categories based on categories, that is, video, image, audio, raw data, etc., or based on other criteria. After all remote data has been loaded and identified, it can be viewed using the keyboard 26 and display 32 of the host computer 12. Or 'through a near-end output device 16 (such as printer 30 or display 32), host i 2 can be used to output an identifier form 46, as shown by block 54 in FIG. 3' FIG. one example. Depending on the type of remote data or the type of the corresponding description 44, a certain criterion is selected, and the user can regulate the content of the form 46. After the rotation form 46 is given, the user can read the remote data. For possible factors that may occur in the future, the symbol identification code 42 is typed next to the corresponding description 44. , The identification code 4 2 is a bar code. Embodiments The barcode is alternated in length from black and white space. Each bar code consists of a white bar ’followed by another black bar. The message It is included in the phase of the black bar. The special mark starts. The black bar follows and the length of the white bar and the surrounding area

Page 22 45 δ 79 6 V. Description of the invention (20). The lengths of the black bars are approximately equal. The following black bars are compared with the average length of the start sequence and interpreted as multiples of this length. There are ^ codes that require the end sequence to be the same as the start sequence. While viewing the print form 46 of the remote data, the host 2 can further output the remote data in real time through the identifier selected by the user and the appropriate output device (ie, the display 3 2). As shown in block 56 of FIG. To select from the list and select the desired identifier, the user only needs to provide the identifier to the host computer 12 with a barcode scanner. After accepting the identifier, the host 12 immediately outputs the corresponding remote data to be used by the user. Real-time analysis of far-end data is performed through the aforementioned methods. According to some far-end data groups, users may want to record near-end data, that is, closure theory, solution, etc. This is shown in block 58 of FIG. These near-end data may include information related to the patterns and trends identified from the far-end data. To record the near-end data, the host 12 can store the near-end data 'the near-end data is input by a near-end input device 14' such as a keyboard 26 . The actual near-end data registration can be performed in the "window" of the display 32, and then the corresponding far-end data can be selected so that the near-end data can be "connected" to the far-end data. Note block 6 in FIG. 3 In this description, "" connection "refers to linking one piece of data with another piece of data. In one embodiment, this may mean that one piece of data is listed regardless of when another piece of data is retrieved. In another embodiment, ', connection' may mean that various data blocks are stored in the same file. After the data block is connected to various remote data, the user may want to discuss various modes and draw conclusions in the physical environment. In this case, a printer 30 and an electronic drawing board 29 are used. First, the host 12 prints

However, in one embodiment, the printer 30 is a card array index card size " card 48 " In the card 48 data ', a remote identifier 42 connected to the near-end data can also be printed. In this way, the remote data read and analyzed through the barcode can be viewed in real time, which is similar. I should note that if needed, but with the identifier 4 2 only, it means that the "connected, | far away once multiple cards 48 are generated, electronic drawing status. In this description, the electronic drawing board 29 may include a tool to generate a visible image and the image can be stored. The image is stored and is no longer needed, and the board can be erased. In one embodiment, the electronic drawing board 2 9 white board works in a manner similar to many common traditional mouse types. The near-end data generated by the drawing board is "connected" to the near-end data of the card 4-8. Of course, 30 can be used independently according to user needs. In order to allow the card 48 to be removed from the electronic drawing board 2 9 and motorized, a plurality of sleeves 70 are provided. The sleeve 70 may be made of transparent plastic to accommodate one to be viewed. Finally, the magnet 72 can be mounted on the sleeve 48 and easily attached to the drawing board 29 and can be moved.

Through this system, the data analysis process is well integrated and organized from beginning to end, which not only assists the analysis and decision-making process, but also provides a convenient means of obtaining historical records of how to make decisions. Implementation of the invention of the dispel way Introduction In this process, look at the diagram one by one. Yes, the purpose of dependence is to create a demand for the troop to support such multiple materials, and the format is important. Effective generation of structure and structuring has been agreed in advance; lack of rationality and display storage, indexing is easily based on the invented improvement mission. The purpose is to show that enough teams can be used to analyze the analysis framework. . The data management is worded and the team reports the capacity. Time is divided into whole points 2. Number of missions ..... 11: The way of the file of the hole iron. The process of thinking interaction in video mosaic: relying on the spatial relationship of the materials to be kissed in the sketch to provide a complete process of manipulating, recording and responding to the team based on three separate and mutually required documents, the following key points are explained: Cheng for The analysis that guarantees a large amount of data is a consistent process, and the team will spend the analysis framework that will lead to scattered and possibly software-linked links that process the data. work

Data management, data display, and paper connection. The use of examples with computers is throughout this specification. D Background The production of the present invention comes from the practice of transferring data to requirements files. In the past few years, I have participated in many projects to develop a knowledge management system. 1 Multi-site engineering team support tools automotive Computing application multimedia interactive application. As an example, t7G has become an extension project for developing knowledge management methods for _ organizations. 0 Results file-visual report and human-centered design analysis report supporting it > is designed on collected data in 17 places in seven countries Yes, a group of four observed and interviewed more than 150 people in the middle of the month »A simple and customary software was used to classify and analyze data in knowledge management engineering0 but did not use computational tools In-depth analysis 0 Use a well-known knowledge management architecture to structure the analysis.

Page 27 455796 V. Description of the invention (25) In the knowledge management project, it is said that all activities are recorded through digital images and 35 mm slides. These materials enable the management of key factors affecting design tasks. The result is a set of goals of the present invention: to support team-based analysis' to ensure informal interactions, use technology to improve processes, and enable teams to apply public objects including paper and pen. A basic premise of the design of the present invention is that the analysis of the observation data and the work of incorporating the requirements documents should be completed by the team, because the team works hard to reduce the impact of personal prejudice. A typical team includes experts from the company's factory, experienced in explaining and identifying cultural factors in the society. 枉 = Scientists, designers, and may include prospective use of final technicians. The importance of supporting informal adjustment work is also being studied. Demonstrated. In many cases, a collective communication report is important. A team that studies complex issues through a common situation that is based on the meaning of the evidence is designed by researchers who use it for group work. It is pointed out that team members are self-sufficient and special. Computer assisted or supported team activity activities and ways. The device takes turns on duty, records the tools with blankets and notes, analyzes the frame, and implements data collection methods such as contextual inquiry in at least one of the present inventions. Organizational activities and customer behavior. In these cases, such as video taxonomy, used to observe routine work activities, the advantages of the method are described in detail in the literature

45 5 79 S V. Description of Invention (26). They guarantee the analysis of the environment, the situation, new or changing technical solutions. The typical analysis is to find a simple analysis framework in the data. It uses a large number of simple and structured data in the design phase of data recording and engineering. To the highest level from bottom to top 'from data to demand. At the same time methods to ensure complete understanding of the problem domain Figure 8 shows the elements of the analysis architecture Figure 9 shows an example of each element. • Evidence is the basic unit of analysis. Multimedia programs that are used or accumulated from observation usually have hundreds to thousands of pieces of evidence per fluorine. • Keywords are important concepts in data that make up a meaningful subset. A piece of evidence. In the past ’a project may have • Patterns are clusters of evidence from the bottom up. This plan usually exports fifty to • Assuming a special type of pattern. Key issues to be addressed. Gathering Evidence • The subject is to generate during the analysis. Experience shows that there are different needs for capture and analysis. A simple but well-understood analysis framework will be supported. mode. Through the previous steps the structured data can be used in analysis, group and brainstorming techniques. This method to achieve data abstraction-'hypothesis is used for top-down cover. ’Below is a description of them. One piece of evidence is a direct explanation of prominent actions and data. A piece of work evidence is a mark of the media. The initial stage of analysis is to use evidence of a few keywords, usually 50 keywords. A collection of meaningful evidence from a hundred models. They are the data the team is collecting to verify or disprove assumptions. For the data of the important component β of the problem domain, each project is-flexible, special for the data

455796 V. Description of the invention (27) The label of the type provides freedom, rather than creating an over-structured and therefore inflexible analysis framework. For example, in a current project, the keywords "recommended methods" and "surprise" are used to organize subsets of evidence that are not the same as bottom-up methods for identifying topics and patterns from evidence. Directly related. Some people find that new tools need to be consistent with many other team activities at work. According to their method, the present invention allows the team to use as many technologies or tools as they want to turn evidence into patterns and patterns into topics. For example, In other words, cluster analysis is useful in this kind of engineering when you are interested in the intersection of evidence for many keywords. Similar, close-knit diagrams are used to identify topics from patterns. Data Management The present invention uses software tools to Digitize, store, index, and access large amounts of multimedia data, including video, audio, and photographic data accumulated during data collection. All analysis architecture elements just described are also retrieved and stored. MAST (Multimedia Analysis Software Tool) Developed for the entire process of analysis and synthesis. MAST supports data acquisition and storage, data logging, retrieval and retrieval Display function. A digital media folder can be run to display an organized view of a subset of the near-end data. All interactions between the objects, instruments, equipment, and displays of the present invention are managed by MAST. Quick and easy viewing of the data The method is to digitize it. It is necessary to provide a convenient non-linear access method to the original source data. For example, during the analysis, the team looks at the media folder to achieve the meaning of the evidence,

4 5 5 79 6 V. Description of the Invention (28) and clarify the explanation of the incident in the media segment. As shown in FIG. 10, mast glues all the elements of the present invention in the laboratory, and the members of the group are glued together. The zero member works with interactive objects, and he enters, saves, and detects patients. 媸 SS ~ Use interactive equipment to Write on it. These items are deducted from the MA 1 sacrifice material department, on the whiteboard-the use of rural components and equipment will be described in detail later. MAST maintains multimedia age buttons for broadcasting. The connections between the pieces are stored and stored in the Thunder & Drought Freezer & J for various analysis and design. To provide this kind of automatic portrayability of the analysis and design process " Yes_ the history of the event provides a rich set of basic principles for the design and development of the team. Designed for preservation

Si ί ί often requires the team to take additional measures to document their work. Progress on this challenging issue has made it an easy and almost invisible part of the analysis process. In the analysis process, the value of preserving history is inevitable. It makes it easy for teams to review their work when the question of how to reach a particular conclusion arises. When creating the final project file, access to historical records provides a connection between the basic empirical data and the findings and the transactions that formed the final result. "Data show that in the data analysis process, the ability to manipulate and view large amounts of data at the same time is critical. The invention supports computer display using multiple monitors, and also uses walls for display. Three 800x600 resolution displays provide a large plane to view M A S TT messages ’and describe several levels of data detail at the same time. Benfa Ming's laboratory is long and narrow, and 9 feet by 27 feet of space cannot be used on long walls.

Page 31? 45 5 79 6 V. Description of the invention (29) Project a picture as shown in Figure 11. When moving the mouse, use three continuous high-resolution projectors because the focal length of one projector is greater than 9 feet. Therefore, it is displayed on a 9-foot wall with a 31-inch color display on the left and right of the instrument. The different sizes of the display cause discontinuities and cause problems between screens. What is not displayed is that each display should be approximately the same size when displayed at the table. The fonts shown in 1 Opt. Indicate that the use of each window restricts the MAST application. The display requires user interaction with the on-screen interaction. Examples of windows Video, images, or annotations, drawings, useful in the knowledge management > At the same time: to generate a message group can not provide an outside display plane. Can be determined to be used on the font ruler on the team seat. See Figure 11 for windows with the same font size. Need to look at the left. The connecting window between the middle times can be covered with charts, some materials are very mobile, and the resolution of the display wall provides the ability. The same size also brings a challenge to readability. The content of the display should be 12 feet away. It can be seen that this is the distance. It is displayed on each screen. To meet this requirement, the center display is ‘18pt.’ On both sides of the display. The font size does not seem to vary much. The program includes an interactive window and a display-only window on the center screen, while the details of the data added by the video clip are on the right display. The windows are used to create and maintain different data layers as shown in Figures 12 and 13. I should note that the category-like form illustrates remote data. All engineering laboratory wall coverings and diagrams in physical engineering. It is important to be able to easily access this different idea, as is quick and easy to combine. · Even if three high resolution display spaces are used, you still need to rely on. So ‘reserve it when designing this invention

I1IMI Page 32 455796 V. Description of the Invention (30) Although it is also necessary to design a link between paper and sketches and computer storage data. When the wall is covered with paper that is connected to the computer through a bar code, the entire room turns into a huge computer display. Attention Figure 丨 2 Connect the paper deduction machine '' The team uses paper and white board to understand easily. Paper is used for reading, sketching, and annotation. The same 'whiteboard is used for sketching' to capture emerging ideas and view data. The use of the whiteboard in the present invention is discussed later. Studies have shown "how people make notes on paper to gain an understanding of what is being read. Paper simultaneously displays the spatial display of many data 'easy to move between files or files t. The key to the success of this invention is its creation To the seamless interaction between the computer and its 6 styles. These forms are paper and whiteboard. So = code reading continued, the user-designed bar code command board, bar code enables paper = paper objects outside the computer and computer storage The data between the papers is called " connected sticky notes " and " connected data reports. It is like the video mosaic and the narrative element on the paper are connected to σ, and the digital element in the bar code is used in connection with the video [designer = basis m. DigitalDesk supports the use of pre-cow

= Retrieve numbers on the printed page, avoiding the need for numbers to be processed: U is required before 2: i f calculator. Both systems prove that paper use is an integral part of many operations. ~ Τ less sieve f explains the use of paper, notes, and whiteboards. What is the central issue of the team at any time during the analysis?

Page 33 4 5 5 79 6 What are they doing in the description of the five (31) invention? When the team members work individually, .t tL has to use a personal print page. When the discussion is held, ‘supports personal printing of 100. Bu Feng, and also computer displays and whiteboards to create shared workspaces. The following examples illustrate how the team uses paper at different points in the analysis process. Beta MAST can generate any number of user-defined data reports. This report can be filtered and stored using a variety of criteria. The following example shows a report of evidence stored in two A 4 rebels. A barcode identifier is associated with each report item and can be scanned to show details of that item. Scan—a bar code of evidence will play a digital video or audio clip. ° The first step in data analysis is to generate patterns from the evidence. The team starts by examining all evidence using a connected evidence report or form, as shown in Figure 4. The team members individually examine the evidence and comment on their own printed report ’, followed by a discussion of the evidence. After several people collect hundreds to thousands of pieces of evidence, individuals may need additional information to 'explain them. We have not seen evidence. To get the context, they can scan the corresponding video clip of any evidence by scanning the barcode, which is linked to the evidence in the report. Scanning barcodes to view media folders is faster and faster than using a computer. Similarly, if the team used a printed report, scanning the barcode to connect the evidence to the model was easier than opening the window on a computer, which would search for the item in the view and drag it to the pattern view. As teams analyze and generate patterns and themes, MAST is used to generate links to evidence in the patterns and themes. The new model or theme is printed on the magnetic card of 2, _ χ 3, _ ’as shown below. " Connected sticky notes " can be placed on magnetic whiteboard 0

Page 34 4 5 5 79 6 V. Description of the invention (32) Scanning. The method of displaying the information below it on a monitor is natural and smooth. Looking at the calendar of the retrospective mode is based on memory workers. It is very common. , Click. The images used by the team are automatically stored digitally in the MAST and displayed on the wall. The whiteboard can be circulated when the theme is opened, and it is easy to contact the master. It's a command board that allows the team to modelly connect the sticky drum message below it. Take instead of going to the computer. It prevents people from making history from all the hidden messages, which guarantees the team to work. Check the connection to the mold. It helps the team to use the whiteboard to illustrate the sense of scope when discussing the model. The whiteboard doesn't want to save and save the team memory. These images are called "connected images" with a large number of connected images. When it first occurred, the image discussed in the previous section was placed under the title. They can be displayed and edited with Adobe. In the initialization analysis, how to think about how to call a special function and how to focus on the bar code on the interpretation of an object to find this current object, the team members can refer to the real record of all the proof meanings. A wide range of components of interest consider which figure is all electronically bar coded. I should note that you can scan the project here, transfer the note, and the data can be understood and discussed with the group. The relationship will be very heavy. The whiteboard image is printed, and the connected images are analyzed together. These images can be provided on a large projector screen with Photoshop111 or other most commonly used operations. Command barcoded printing is provided between the beginning and the job. This kind of power of the computer is easy, without team members Q team to clarify the point. Every image is nailed out electronically in the room to make it easy for the image to be edited. Good reflection

Page 35 4 5 5.79 β V. Description of the invention (33) To "create a mode", you can find a formula through a series of mouse operations. The bar code command board has three types of bar code command boards and the MAST interface to open and display the corresponding windows. Instructions, scans " creation mode " bar code display. When evidence is scanned is added to the display. The ability to use the command pad and wireless keyboard saves time, simplifies modes and pastes annotation models from the connection. : The second creation mode "bar is exhausted, instead of seeing through the windows of the same soil column to create a mold door class command, shown in Figure 15 ;, call-bar code; just hit the bar code command board to work normally. For example And when the "active mode" window is opened and in the display mode, the use of the active mode window expands the complex operations of computer applications. The command board is especially paper when creating topics from the evidence in the creation mode. The interaction between the computer, pasting notes, and computer runs through the entire analysis process. "Using connected interactive objects to connect-pasting notes, connecting data objects' and connecting images-greatly enhances the analysis process. The team can focus on the work In terms of content, the use of these objects reduces the workload of accessing, manipulating, viewing and creating data.

The challenging part of the analysis is developing a more advanced architecture that explains and illustrates specific issues. These structures can be obtained through repetitive organization of existing data and re-'organization 'teams. People have created spatial relationships for displayed objects and data, and given meaning to space, thereby improving the way they interpret and remember data. Using link paste notes allows team members to easily move content on the whiteboard. For example, the annotations can be grouped into a comprehensive graph °, which can be generated to connect pasted annotations in all graphs

P.36 455796 V. Description of Invention (34) I save the image, or remove the pasted annotations, as long as the subject from the pasted pasted annotations has been recorded. At the same time, laboratory applications have also shown many abilities and limitations. A recently completed project is the information needs of automotive use; it will be used to determine the provision of internal computing and GPS (Global Positioning System) to users. New business. Within three months, three people used the present invention to analyze behavioral data collected through a large number of inspection techniques, and to obtain activity log, video, audio, and image data. Experience has been enhanced based on what the team work center has done Design decision. The team spends a lot of time checking the evidence report to create the pattern. Using the invention greatly improves the speed and efficiency of creating the pattern. All team members only need to focus on the computer display, such as a pattern in the discussion Accurate wording. At the later stages of the analysis, attaching and pasting comments is very effective, it allows the team to smoothly transfer back and forth between high-level affairs and basic data in a unified way. Another embodiment, some additional features will enhance the use of the laboratory .For example, 'connect paste notes on whiteboard' to draw manually. To create a master And associate patterns and images with it 'team members must use a command board, barcode scanner, and keyboard. Otherwise, they must use screen (whiteboard) images to capture ideas presented in SILK in order to design connections between patterns . More information on s ILK can be found in the following publications: " Interactive Sketching 〇rthe E ar 1 y Stages of User Interface Design " 11, Landy, J. A ·with

Myers, B.A., listed in the bibliography. Themes can be created by focusing on a set of patterns and images. The use of audio interface components is also seen as a way to strengthen the team's data processing so that they can focus on the data rather than interacting with the computer. The application of the invention now extends to other aspects of the design and development process. The use of the present invention 'investigated the design team examining the requirements document. By making full use of paper, media server, three-screen display, and barcode scanner, a hybrid paper document to which the functions of the present invention are applied has been developed. The file enables the working group to create electronic notes, bookmarks, keywords' which in turn are linked to paper files. Remote Data Collection As mentioned earlier, the data collected from the field may take many forms, such as video, still images, or survey reports. Various data collection systems related to the surveyed population have been available in the past. Some systems are used to test people's reactions to new and old products, or to conduct sample surveys of people's shopping habits. Ask respondents verbally with or without visual aids' or ask them to answer the questions in a booklet. Respondents used several sheets of paper to write answers to questions they asked, or electronically recorded their responses using some kind of electronic device. The current electronic system can accept the response of the respondent and store it in the computer system immediately. This electronic system can also display answers on a video monitor in real time. For example, a video monitor can display the number of category-like responses in a pie chart, and / or display raw data (in numerical form). An existing such system is AcuPOLL, produced by AcuPOLL Research for market

Page 38 45579 6 V. Description of Invention (36) Used by the survey company.

The AcuPOLL electronic data collection system uses a keypad with several keys (for example, from 11 〇 to 11 1 0 & quot), which is used by respondents when answering questions. Such keypads are "dumb" devices, and they do not provide keyboard messages to users (respondents or others who tested and installed the system). This keyboard may have one or two lights to provide some information. But even if there is a light ’, it ’s not a smart device, it only provides minimal information. In addition, each dumb key can only sense a 'tap (including 0 to i 0) message to the far end, and this message represents the answer to a specific question. The core of the data collection system, like AcuPOLL, is a host that stores data received from a single keyboard. Because there can be multiple keyboards (up to at least one hundred sets) in a data collection system, each keyboard must have some kind of identification device so that the host can determine which keyboard is transmitting the message at any time. In this way, the host can keep track of which respondent gave what answer ’so that the data collection system can classify the answer based on the type of respondent (eg, gender). Because Ac uPOLL system keyboards are "dumb" devices, they cannot be programmed to change the operating attributes, so they must be identified by "hardware" coding. In other words, each AcuP0Ll keyboard must be in hardware. There is a certain identification method on the body (not software or firmware). This identification method can be a programmable switch (like a seven-segment DI P switch) inside each keyboard, or directly connected from the host to each keyboard. Keyboard (that's really pure "hardware" coding). The result is that 'existing data collection systems must be designed with group rules so that the keyboards (with the correct identification numbers) are installed in their proper locations.

Page 39 4 5 5 79 6 V. Description of the Invention (37) Each keyboard must be connected correctly, or its own identification switch (if any) is set to the correct number. Given that the physical location of each keyboard (corresponding to its identification) is often important to the overall survey results, all this must be done during the installation process. This process is time consuming when designing a new survey. Existing data collection systems have limitations and the keyboard cannot be used to send messages to the person next to the keyboard. In the future, more advanced sampling surveys will be required, and information needs to be exchanged from the host computer to each respondent using the keyboard. For example, 'for a question that requires only a specific number as an answer, this message informs the respondent that the last answer was outside the acceptable number range. Existing data collection systems cannot accept multiple keystrokes as a response to questions "In these systems, respondents are restricted to typing only one key for each question 'so there are only zero (0) to 100,000) The range is available. To complete the added functions, a data collection system with a "dexterous" keyboard and more functionality is required. Yet another way to collect remote data is to use a camera. Current digital cameras include a development device controlled by a computer system. The computer system accesses the original image data recorded by the developing device, processes and compresses it 'and stores the compressed data in the memory. Therefore, the effective operation of a computer is an important consideration for camera design makers. The storage structure of a specific computer system determines the data storage technology, and significantly affects the working efficiency of the entire digital camera system. The user interface of traditional digital cameras includes an image finder, which can display smaller versions of the image in the center, allowing users to instantly check multiple Z-graphs

4 5 5 79 6 V. Description of the invention (38) Image. The user selects which to display. Get the start number (such as the first number) from the digital camera and the image can be named. Use Clear Camera Save to name the new image. This traditional map may lead to some image quality to store one of the photos, just if a group of slaves can be detached, because the new image is renamed by the renamed current category name and camera-to-camera-like, if The image will be unloaded from the stored image to the maximum number that has reached the new name. Conflicts of new images with conventional photography. If there will be a duplicate name, then try to be overwritten from the photo. In this method, the total number of images is taken, starting with the graphs, and users must use them. The image is overwritten and the camera will be named as fast as the biggest result is cover. The camera is connected to some of the cameras on the host computer, and the number can be set in the image finder. The images are typically named by number, from one to the end and ending with the largest number. The specified number is identified in the image finder β-once the largest number. After deleting the images or downloading them to the host, the camera starts again from the first number. The method results in some naming conflicts and is lost. Loading several removable storage media creates a naming conflict. For example, a flash disk, as described above, has an old image. "If the user starts to obtain the image number, the camera will start from the first number to the old image i stored on the removable storage to the host for transmission. When the image appears, another image is stored with the camera, then the main image three will be overwritten if it tries to download an image with a name conflict from the host. Load the image to the host, the name on the host is ^ The camera has a counter to record the camera number and the name assigned to each circle image

P.41 45 5 79 6 V. Description of Invention (39). Because you counted Xiong Xiongxiong from Xinxin County, each image taken was generated, and a complex image was obtained. For a specific camera, a picture of a camera with a different name is still produced, and a picture is still produced, including one image. Sensors, sensors have -70 columns, and image elements are often called f # in art, 'it's 0 consecutive to each other in position. Each idiot takes a hard time in the garden as a discrete component of the electronic watch of the pixel daggers / iL and the pixels are the image elements, which are combined in the array order to form the entire electronic image representation.

The image sensor converts the received light energy into separate electricity at each pixel. The amount of electricity generated depends on the level of light and exposure time. The charge packet is then read from each pixel and stored in a storage medium, like the well-known pcMCIA ΑΑ memory card (memory card), or stored in the memory of a digital camera for future retrieval. The stored image can be output to a personal computer (PC), displayed on a pC display, such as a typical cathode ray tube screen (CRT), or printed out in hard copy by a printer. To accomplish this output, the memory card f is inserted into the PC MCI A drive of the personal computer to interact with the user. Alternatively, the contents of the memory card or memory can be downloaded to a personal computer through a serial communication cable. The process is performed by an image management software program. This is currently the only method for retrieving images from the memory. Images are temporarily stored in random access memory (RAM) by the image management program. But ‘may need to store the image permanently on the computer ’s hard butterfly, or on a floppy disk that can be inserted into the computer. When saved permanently, the operating system (0S) residing on the computer creates an entry on the disk archive directory, and then

It is always on the finger disk. File directories and FAT-given on a delimited disk, typically a floppy disk or hard disk. The file directory and the FAT form a standard file system, and are used by a computer installed with "WINDOWS" DOS, which indexes each data file to a storage address. In this example, it indexes to each record map. Data archives. Although the systems and methods currently known and used to retrieve images from digital cameras are satisfactory, they are not without their disadvantages. First and foremost, most desktop personal computers do not have a PCMCIA drive, so they retrieve images The only way to access the image is through the serial port. In any case, the image management software receives the compressed recorded image from the camera and decompresses it for display 'user processing or printing. For permanent storage of the image For example, either recompress to reduce storage or decompress. However, if the well-known lossy compression method is used to obtain a higher compression ratio, recompression will result in further loss of detail. If the image is not compressed, , It will cost a lot of storage space. Data check warehouse When faced with the problem of unclear information to be accessed, a person usually wants to use Do probing before source to make them available. Part of the purpose of probing is to re-understand the potential space available for content, and part of the purpose is to determine the reason for obtaining specific files. The interface that supports browsing collections is 'different from search collections' to meet this Need to learn more about collections before taking action. Dispersion / collection is a file browsing technology that supports this kind of exploration. This kind of browsing

The same level of granularity of dispersion / focusing is provided in this summary as the navigation pieces are aggregated. The heart Λ Λ V content includes the clustering of documents based on the similarity of files to generate cluster systems into the same cluster. Recursive collection for each cluster, +-/ summary information of clusters, 2 series: each level is provided to the user about the category. The user may be able to explain that the set of files it contains may finally reduce a 32t collection 'cluster is getting smaller' and getting more and more. Wen Jingjun Gu & Dou and linear CCD have reading in stick, fixed light, moving light, and moving ΛΛ 'in many occasions. Stick-type, fixed light ground, a small light spot. The basic working principle of reading ^ is the same. Typical (that is, one scanning line) f hits the bar code surface and scans the entire bar code. The light is collected by the light element and the concentration is adjusted by the bar code mode. Reflection number = Because Pan Xin ί comes to the light detector, the light intensity is converted to telecommunications • The area of k * is more reflective than the darker area, so the reflection # 强 represents the number of the content of the identification bar ^ Among them is the simple price 6 — The number of # is a code. Scanning sticks are these reader-shaped outer spoons that include a light source (typically UD) and a light-sensitive element on the pen. The operator must scan the entire length of the bar code Ϊ touch it with the tip of the bar. This severely restricts the use of the scanner bar where the operator can access the bar code. In addition, to ensure effectiveness

Page 44 45 5 79 6 V. Description of the invention (42) Reading often requires repeated scanning of the bar time. Scanning bar can't make out ^ 'This increases the overall SI reading of each barcode # @ π 1 Damaged or fuzzy barcode. Fixed-line readers and scanners do not need to work the same as the barcode to maintain physical contact. The basic working principle is that only a foot away from the reader is cast by light spots emitted by LEDs or lasers to the scanner. The fixed light reader needs to be a member, and the light point must be across the entire bar. The jitter will be accurate as the distance of the bar code increases. In addition, the hand must be larger. ® Fixed light reading continued: broken zoom. The farther the distance is, the bar code must be * suitable to read rotating and vibrating mirrors and lenses with 2 lines, use repeating linear (ie one-dimensional) snap button +, ^ use J. This reader does not need to manually scan the barcode. Removal first :: ㈣ Scan 4. Times, you can scan the strips multiple times. This :: = probability of correct reading of extremely damaged bar codes ^ p I & — called the interfering scan for decoding ^, which is an effective scan (ie, the entire reader is covered in a single scan by a short distance) Limits for small and long-distance reading: Moving and moving light readers cannot read damaged or blurred barcodes ^ Linear CCD readers do not require mechanical light scanning of the barcodes, but bright light sources. Linear CCD reading The reader obtains the one-dimensional image of the bar code; ~ reads the information by electrical signals, which is the same as the rotation of a scanning rod, fixed or mobile light reader. The linear CCD reader is only extremely small, about one inch The scope depth 'often limits reading of barcodes that are shorter than CC1) reading heads (typically less than 3 inches). Linear CCD readers cannot read damaged or blurred barcodes. The CCD usually uses a light emitting diode (LED) as a light source. Have tried
